Allspice recipes

Allspice, also called "Jamaica pepper", is native to the Caribbean and one of the most important ingredients in Caribbean cooking, although due to its adaptable flavour it can also be found in both sweet and savoury dishes from around the world. It may look like a large peppercorn, but crush the berry and take in its musky aroma and you'll see that this spice is so much more. In fact, "allspice" is so-named because the berry was thought to combine several flavours, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and pepper.
